Editing Eigersund (section)

==Geography==
Eigersund extends from the [[North Sea]] coast to the border of [[Agder]] county. It borders the municipalities of [[Hå]] and [[Bjerkreim]] to the north and [[Sokndal]] to the south. The municipality is centered on the town of [[Egersund]], and includes the island of [[Eigerøya]]. The landscape includes many rivers and lakes, as well as woods and several barren rocky and [[Calluna|heather]]-clad [[Moorland|moors]]. The lakes [[Grøsfjellvatnet]], [[Eiavatnet]], [[Nodlandsvatnet]], and [[Teksevatnet]] lie in the municipality.

===Eigerøya===
[[Eigerøya]] is an island off the coast of Egersund. The island is connected to the mainland over Eigerøy bridge, which was completed in 1951. The island's coastline is characterized by a number of small bays, as well as Lundarviga. Eigerøya is divided almost in two of the large bay of Lundarviga. The island is surrounded by a number of small islets. [[Eigerøy Lighthouse]] and [[Vibberodden Lighthouse]] are both located along the shores of Eigerøya.
